Siemens PDM V9.0

SIMATIC PDM is an established universal, multi-vendor tool for configuration, parameterization, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance of intelligent field devices (sensors and actuators) and field components (remote I/Os, multiplexers, control room devices, compact controllers). The library supplied with SIMATIC PDM with its more than 3,500 device descriptions for devices from more than 200 manufacturers worldwide, is most likely the most comprehensive library on the market. SIMATIC PDM V9.0 further improves, upgrades and completes device support, functionality, performance and ease of operation.

Through SIMATIC PDM V9.0 plant constructors and operators can notably reduce your commissioning and servicing times. At the so-called "loop checks" or service work the functional scope and parameter assignment possibilities of the various field devices are tested.
Previously this was only possible on the central engineering station or local SIMATIC PDM station. New product properties and a new product structure allow working on several SIMATIC PDM workstations with common data management.

Maintenance personnel can assign parameters for the field devices using the default browser Microsoft Internet Explorer at mobile and stationary workstations with SIMATIC PDM V9.0. Almost every workstation integrated in the production plant can be used for the configuration. Service personnel are thus able to work directly at the location of the field device, while data are stored centrally in the engineering station. This leads to significant shortening of the maintenance and travel times.
